Thanks!
Yes, based on what I have read, it is relatively simple to make cases from .30-30 brass. Just takes some trimming, sizing, and fireforming. It appears that the gun will take the slightly larger .30-30 rim with no turning down required, which saves some work. I am looking at various molds and have read that certain .32-40 and/or .32 Winchester Special molds will work. Ideally, I'd love to get a mold I could hollowpoint to use for hunting, but we'll take it one step at a time.
This has the makings of the best gun project I've done in a very long time.
